Indeed, an old habit; I hope as I'm sliding in to this retirement thing I'll actually learn how to sleep in once and a while

I understand only too well, I on the other hand have seemingly gone the other way as I normally am not up until 9 or 10 am. I'm thinking this thread may not be a good place to chat...so I will wish you good day...stay warm up there.

Post some pics of bikes you like. If you like a club look then a wide glide would not be the first pic

if you like a chopper look than the wide glide would be great. They have a nice kicked out front end and a wider rear tire. So they look cool too

if I could I would own both.
But two wrongs don't make a right.

OP, just so you know in case you're new to Harleys, the SB has nothing in common with a Sporty. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Sportster either.
Street Bobs are as much a Dyna as a WG, LR, or FB. In fact, the others are just Street Bobs with a little glitter and lipstick. Kind of like a feminized SB. Low Rider S excluded.

Not really, the WideGlide is the only one with a slightly modified frame.

I am thorn in between a Street Bob, Street Bob SE, Sportster 48, Sportster Custom 1200, or a Sportster Nightster.
At this moment the most likely choice is the Street Bob SE.
